EU Constitution

Fire of Liberty

Here's a Leader (Op/Ed) from The Daily Telegraph on Spain's EU Constitutional referendum. As the paper noted, the people of Spain voted overwhelmingly for the Constitution but still demonstrated their apathy when only 40% of the voters showed up. While Spain's approval of the Constitution has given credence to the pro-euro crowd throughout Europe it also gives a pause to the Yes campaign in nations like Poland, Britian or the Czech Republic which have well established and credible euroskeptic movements. As I've noted earlier, France as well as the Czech Republic have expressed their opposition to the vote. What the Telegraph concludes is that the EU has created an institution with little or no popular support.
